got it thank you!

142

I was wondering if the College of Education is competitive and if students applying to UT have research internships?

143

Hi there - I’m new to this forum. Would be curious to know when any Plan II applicants start hearing back. My son applied early September. He’s not auto admit to UT and didn’t submit test scores. Appreciate it!

144

Want to keep our expectations managed. Son is not auto admit. Applied end of September. App portal just shows that application is completed. No decision information there. But got email from UT subject “Why Longhorns Love Austin, TX” by addressing us “Dear Future Longhorn Family Member” and sentences like “Your student is ready to put in the work at UT Austin.”, “We can’t wait for your student to join us!”
 Are we reading too much into this? Is this just marketing email?

145

Honestly, I think marketing.

We got the email and as the parent of a top quarter in state student who is test optional and VERY LITTLE chance of getting in, I think it’s a mass mailing.

Daughter is auto-admit and also waiting for her acceptance notification. Submitted application on 10/22 and received an email on 10/27 saying still waiting for transcript (was also submitted on 10/22 along with transcripts). Assume it might be just a delay because of all of the other applications, but also wonder if the delay is because she was re-zoned within the same district after Jr. year to a new high school. In the portal, it shows both high schools as transcripts as “under review”

Hi I have a question about the high school academic coursework entry form. How do they report 8th grade high school classes that appear on their high school transcript? The drop down choices are only for grades 9-12

149

You choose ‘Other Courses’ in Courses & Grades

150

Under other it still has only grade 9-12 to choose. These were taken in 8th.

151

Correct. We have 7th and 8th classes that we put in ‘Other Courses’. It’s all listed under Courses and Grades
9th
10th
11th
12th
Other Courses

152

But after entering a course the drop down menu has grades and 8 is not a choice ?

153

If the courses are on your transcript, you just put in ‘your HS name’ then the school year it was completed.

So for 7th grade classes, we entered ‘2018-2019’; 8th grade ‘2019-2020’.

Hope that makes sense. But I don’t think UT uses the courses and grades anyways since they expect an official transcript from your high school.

From Common App:

Courses & Grades – Other Courses

Use this grid to report your courses exactly as they appear on your transcript.

If any middle school courses appear on your transcript, you do not need to note the middle school’s name. Please use the high school name where you received credit instead.

154

Where do you do this at? I applied and never saw this so hoping I’m not missing something.

Thank you for the help!

156

Does anyone know if UT does OOS admissions drops? I knew a few years ago they released some in December.

157

Good question! My son was auto admitted a few weeks ago and we haven’t received anything. Maybe after majors are decided?

158

My son has been automatically admitted, but hasn’t received his major yet. Auto admit was 25 days ago. He is engineering.

159

D24 applied as OOS.

We’re hoping she has a shot at one of the Honors programs.
